Hi Benjamin,

After merging the aio tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
ppc44x_defconfig) failed like this:

fs/built-in.o: In function `aio_thread_op_foo_at':
aio.c:(.text+0x4dab4): undefined reference to `__get_user_bad'
aio.c:(.text+0x4daec): undefined reference to `__get_user_bad'

Caused by commit

  150a0b4905f1 ("aio: add support for async openat()")

despite commit

  d2f7a973e11e ("aio: don't use __get_user() for 64 bit values")

This is due to a bug in the powerpc __get_user_check() macro (the return
value is defined to be "unsigned long" which is only 32 bits on a 32
bit platform).

m68k allmodconfig and all defs of m32r fails while building next-20160315.

sudip

I've removed everything from the aio-next.git tree for now.  Will revisit 
after the merge window.

I've also sent a patch that fixes the link error on ARM and that should
work on all other architectures too.
